Some find art a soothing way to process feelings while others prefer EMDR or skills based treatment options.
I work with adults who are navigating trauma, OCD, emotional intensity, and complex nervous system patterns. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based, gold-standard treatments for trauma and OCD. Therapy with me integrates mind and body, with attention to nervous system regulation and emotional safety. I focus on building a steady, trusting therapeutic relationship where meaningful, lasting change can happen.

I believe art is a great way to integrate messages tat come via imagery.
I offer a compassionate, person-centered, non-judgmental approach. I believe art helps to pull up, like water from a well (draws up) the inner self and the art product can be explored to help find the answers the client is looking for. I also work with, mindfulness, internal parts of IFS and somatic therapies, helping clients to look within for awareness.

As a Depth and Jungian psychotherapist, with a background in art and visual effects, I am often looking to find the hidden metaphors in one’s life story and help contextualize the journey that an individual may be on.
You may be struggling with depression, anxiety, or addiction and seeking insight into this life journey you are on. Perhaps you seek to understand the complex tapestry your life has become in order to find healing for the pain you have always carried, or maybe you’re struggling with a lack of direction or low self-esteem. I also guide people through the loss that accompanies life transitions, including the death of a loved one, a career change, or another transition such as midlife, empty-nest, divorce, or health recovery.

You might be doing okay on the surface, but inside, you’re overthinking, second-guessing yourself, and feeling disconnected in relationships. Many of my clients grew up navigating difficult experiences, maybe even with strong expectations from family, culture, or religion. If you feel that way, you are not alone. As an adult, you might feel stuck between who you are and who you are supposed to be. Therapy doesn’t have to start when you are in a crisis. It can be a space to understand yourself more clearly, feel more grounded, and build relationships that actually feel natural and sustainable.

If you’re reading this, something in your life isn’t working the way you want it to. Maybe you feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck repeating the same patterns despite your best efforts. Maybe you’ve done a lot of personal growth work but still feel like something deeper hasn’t shifted. You don’t have to navigate this alone. I help adults move out of survival mode and into a more grounded, confident, and meaningful way of living. My clients are often high-functioning on the outside while quietly carrying stress, trauma, self-doubt, or burnout on the inside.

When needed, I offer a toolbox of approaches, such as CBT, ACT, ERP or art therapy, that can be tailored to support you in reaching your goals.
Are you feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? Maybe anxiety or OCD is keeping you from living your life in the way that you would most enjoy. Or perhaps you are challenged by losses or life transitions which are difficult to face alone. Having a safe place to express your thoughts and feelings can make a difference. It can open up a sense of freedom and belonging, where you can grow into a fuller expression of who you are and what you want your life to mean. I offer a warm, inviting and empowering space for you to explore what matters most to you.

I offer an approach that combines Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (somatic trauma and attachment processing), Art Therapy, and parts work, which are often more effective than words alone in supporting deep and lasting change, connecting you to your strengths.
Your mind and body seem to be giving you completely different messages, leaving you feeling confused and frustrated. You're overwhelmed, your emotions feel like “too much”, and you are just not feeling like yourself. Ready to go deeper in therapy? Through trauma-informed and liberatory approaches I support you in making sense of your experience, building the capacity for ease and joy (which are often disrupted by trauma), and safely processing difficult experiences. My specialties include working with LGBTQIA+ folx, creatives & visual thinkers, and those experiencing impacts of PTSD, CPTSD, anxiety, and relationship struggles.

I also offer family constellations, EMDR, art & play therapy.
You are unique, and have something valuable to express, offer, and live. We suffer when we feel cut off from this, when the circumstances and experiences of life do not reflect our deepest knowing of self. Depression, anxiety; feeling stuck, lost, dissatisfied with life.. addiction, unhealthy relationships, illness, loss.... These are all opportunities to learn to love oneself more fully; invitations to transform and heal. I help people restore clarity, connection, love, and get to the root of what blocks their full aliveness.

I love working with teenagers, children and adults, and using art and talk therapy to illuminate what needs attention and attunement within the system or the individual.
Adolescents are forming their identities and beginning to individuate from their parents. Their brains are quite literally "pruning," or deciding which neuropathways to keep and which to let go of. This makes it an especially important time to support them and offer sustained attention to their ever-changing internal world.

I specialize in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (Somatic), Art Therapy, EMDR, and psychedelic assisted therapies (KAP and Psilocybin) to support your process.
Your thoughts are racing-examining what you did, or could have done, wondering if you are over-thinking the situation. You try to pretend everything is okay but deep down there is a nagging feeling that something is off. So you work on doing all of the right things, trying to fix yourself, trying to improve, but the feeling inside doesn't change. You may even over-perform in attempt to prove to yourself and the world that you are worthy. But the feeling lingers. Many of my clients have had similar struggles with anxiety, perfectionism, self-doubt, trauma histories, or difficulty feeling comfortable in relationships.
